Wimbledon draw: Good draw for Kerber

Former tournament winner Angelique Kerber meets doubles specialist Kristina Mladenovic in the first round of Wimbledon.

Serena Williams is also dealing with a French woman on her eagerly awaited comeback: the 40-year-old plays against the world number 113.

Harmony Tan.

Williams played her last singles game a year ago at the All England Club.

The men start with a German duel: Oscar Otte, in the absence of the injured Olympic champion Alexander Zverev the German number one in Wimbledon, meets Peter Gojowczyk.

Kerber (No. 15) and Otte (No. 32) are the only seeded pros from Germany at the classic lawn in London's southwest.

Probably the most difficult task from a German point of view was Jan-Lennard Struff.

The longtime Davis Cup player plays against young star Carlos Alcaraz (Spain/No. 5) in round one.

A total of 13 German players (six women, seven men) are at Wimbledon.
